The West Side Winders September 9, 2010

The West Side Winders began in early spring of 2001 under the name The Sidewinders. Guitarist/vocalist Dan Peters took influences ranging from Elvis and Johnny Cash to Brian Setzer and Stevie Ray Vaughan and worked towards developing a group that would be both musically challenging and highly entertaining. After working through a few lineup and stylistic changes, he found the perfect niche as a surfabilly power trio. Their music mixes rockabilly, surf, jump-blues, honky-tonk, jazz and western swing into a high-octane blend that rocks a little harder than the typical roots oriented group.
